A montage of photos of Morris, 37, played on a television as friends and family lined up to say goodbye at her open-casket service, many with flower bouquets in hand. Most loved ones had purple fans with KJ's name printed on them.

Some of the photos showed her graduating from high school and hugging loved ones, each with a smile from ear to ear.

"She was such a great person and so full of life," said ex-girlfriend Starr Shelton. "I can truly say heaven has gained an angel."

Morris was a bouncer at Pulse. She'd just moved from Hawaii and had only been working at the club for two weeks when the massacre happened.

"She was so excited. She'd just started working there and told me how she was thrilled to get more involved in the LGBT community there," said Shelton, 35, who traveled from San Francisco for the funeral.

Morris was the one of the first of the victims buried and was the first in Osceola County.

As they were leaving the service, family and friends held up their hands to the media in the shape of hearts.
